Since I have all the Fuji primes released so far- the 14, 18, 35 and 60 macro the only thing missing is the occasional need for longer reach. I've been playing with two Canon FD teles- the 85 F1.8...

Yes! I had a hunch Sigma was stealing your original ideas all along. Years ago I proposed Digital SLR's and autofocus and my ideas were all ripped off and I have yet to see anything for all my...

Please post your cell phone pictures and keep your culture in the petri dish where it belongs.

Since I have both the 35mm F1.8G and the Sigma 17-50 F2.8 OS I thought I would share my opinion. The Nikon is small, light and inexpensive and a good if not great performer. For my usage the...

You don't specify what mount. The optical stabilized version goes for just under US$600 in Nikon or Canon which is what I paid for my Nikon version at Amazon. I also see that at amazon.co.uk the...

I have the AF 28-70 F2.8 AT-X 270af PRO that takes the threaded MH773 hood. Very well made compared to the lightweight 24-85 VR Nikon which I also use. Balances nicely on my D800 and I like the...

This thread is going to the dogs.

The Sigma is 1/125 @ f1.4. Both are 1/15 @ f4.

How shocking! That would be like a year old used car with 5000 miles selling for less than a new one! Fire sale indeed.

Please let me know where I can buy a x100 "for around 600$". Amazon US has them for 1099 and Adorama and B&H show the Fujifilm Finepix X100 as "no longer avallable". Even used $700 US seems closer...

Since there have been no responses to your query... The lack of fast zooms and even more troubling lack of fast primes in Nikon's DX line-up leaves us with many holes unfilled. See bythom.com for a...

I like the composition of this shot. Well done if not exciting- looks it belongs in a sales brochure. Looks plenty sharp at this downsized res. May I ask where this was taken?

I would chalk this one up as a lesson learned. Never buy a lens, especially for several hundred dollars, without the option to return it. Of course you will inform any potential buyer that this...

The D4 is 16 MP, actually. Optimized for high FPS and low noise at High ISO. The D800/800E in terms of resolution is clearly superior.

Took a chance on Amazon Warehouse for a LN example for $460. I compared it to the 18-105VR, 18-70 and 35 f1.8 and the Sigma is significantly sharper than all these Nikkors @ f5.6 which is where I...

Thanks for sharing the results of your comparison. I honestly couldn't see much difference, even at 100% crop in corners, on my decent but certainly not state of the art 24-inch NEC monitor. I have...

Please define "ffs". I could not locate it in Webster's. I will continue to place the period outside the quotations marks as I please- in spite of your "snarky" corrections. Now I must be off to...

Your logic is laughable. By your standard using "numerous online references" President Obama is a Kenyan Muslim Socialist. Correcting fuzzy thinking and spelling is not "snarky". The word is lens.

Lens is the correct spelling. The spelling "lense" bugs me too! If you doubt the spelling just examine a few boxes from Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm etc. They are labeled "lens".

Wrong! The first 70-210 f4 is a solid, well-built MIJ tele-zoom. It was quickly replaced by a cheaper, plastic variable aperture version. I've owned this lens since the eighties when I bought the...
